So You Think You've Been Bamboozled at Work? How to File an EEOC Complaint in Georgia (and Stick it to the Man...Legally)
Let's face it, sometimes work feels like a bad episode of The Office, only instead of Michael's socially awkward antics, you're dealing with something a lot less funny, like unequal pay or blatant discrimination. If your boss's latest decision left you feeling like Jim after Dwight got the promotion (seriously, how?), then it might be time to consider filing an EEOC complaint.
But hold on there, Hoss! Don't go storming into your boss's office with torches and pitchforks just yet (although that would be amazing office drama, wouldn't it?). The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is here to help, and filing a complaint is actually a pretty straightforward process.
QuickTip: A slow read reveals hidden insights.

Step 1: You Got the Evidence, Babe? (Gather Your Info)
The EEOC wants to be your workplace justice fairy godmother, but they can't bibbidi-bobbidi-boo discrimination away without some info from you. Here's what you'll need to have on hand:
QuickTip: Focus on what feels most relevant.
- Your Side of the Story: Write down the details of what happened. Dates, times, witnesses, the whole shebang. The more specific, the better.
- The Who's Who: Names, phone numbers, and addresses of your employer and anyone involved in the alleged discrimination.
- Paper Trail Power: Copies of any emails, paystubs, or documents that back up your claim.
Remember: The sooner you gather this info, the better. Memories fade faster than Ryan Howard's baseball career.
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.
Step 2: Phone a Friend (or the EEOC)
There are a few ways to file your complaint:
QuickTip: Ask yourself what the author is trying to say.

- Get on the Horn: Call the EEOC's Atlanta District Office at 1-800-669-4000 and speak to a representative.
- Channel Your Inner Carrie Bradshaw: Strut your stuff over to the EEOC's website (https://www.eeoc.gov/how-file-charge-employment-discrimination) and file online.
- Old School is Cool: Print out a complaint form from the Georgia Commission on Equal Opportunity (https://gceo.georgia.gov/) and mail it in.
Bonus Tip: Depending on the situation, you might also want to consider contacting the Georgia Commission on Equal Opportunity (https://gceo.georgia.gov/).
Step 3: Patience is a Virtue (But Not Really)
The EEOC will investigate your claim, but this can take some time. Don't expect a same-day resolution like Michael resolving a conflict with Dwight with a good ol' fashioned duel (seriously, not a good idea).
In the meantime: Keep calm and carry on (or, you know, update your resume).
